Syntax

LOWER(<expC> | <memofield>)


See Also

ISLOWER(), ISUPPER(), PROPER(), SET STRESCAPE, STRTOLOWER(), STRTOUPPER(), STRTRAN(), TRANSFORM(), UPPER()


Description

The LOWER() function converts the characters in the character expression <expC> or memo <memofield> to lower case. This function is particularly useful if used in index keys and their corresponding SEEK expressions, since a search expression in lower case will match both upper and lower case characters.
